To all thinking of imaging it, give it a go, its relatively bright, and being a type IIP, it should have a nice leisurely drop off in brightness over the next few months.

Greg I'd love a bit of a writeup about what type of star does this, how big is it, how much energy is there in these explosions and over what area of space does this extend. It looks brighter than the galaxy itself and would appear to be very dangerous to be anywhere near it. Radiation alone from an event like this must be dangerous to life.
